ESPN is again partnering with American College Cricket, to promote ESPN3 ‘s coverage of the 2013 Champions Trophy from June 6 to 23,as it did for the 2012 T20 World Cup, and 2012 Champions League tournaments.

“Its easy to understand that ESPN & American College Cricket working together to promote ESPN’s cricket broadcasts in the USA is good for the game. A major tenet of American College Cricket from its inception, was to make the game more visible and we’ve televised 24 matches on TV Asia, with more to come. And whilst we’ve pushed for the shortest format,T20,to be on ESPN TV ; ODIs and Tests are great for online viewing” , American College Cricket President Lloyd Jodah said.

“Our members represent an ideal demographic for ESPN and sponsors – a fact Coca Cola and Dish have recognized, and are connected to the cricket audience in the USA. Our students have tremendous influence, through social media and otherwise which can help make ESPN’s cricket broadcasts successful.

Exclusive live coverage of the entire tournament will be available on ESPN3 in the US as well as on ESPN Caribbean and broadband player ESPN Play in the Caribbean and Latin America.
